Make Noise Morphagene Reels (in Six Parts)

Published on Nov 27, 2017 Genshi Media Group

"::| BEST HEARD WITH A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES |::

I thought I'd show an example of the Reels I use in my Make Noise Morphagene module. Each one of the Six reels in this video I Composed and Sound Designed in Ableton Live using a variety of Instruments, VSTs, and Field Recordings. Normally, I would then load these up into my two Radio Music modules and feed those into the Morphagene, but this time, I loaded them directly onto the SD card of the Morphagene.

Though I use to work professionally as a Sound Designer (well technically, I still do... for myself!) I don't think I will sell these or give them away (unless I get a ton of requests) as they are very much tailored to my own "Cinematic Ambient Soundscape" style... I just wanted to show them here, in hopes that it will inspire others to explore deeper; to spend more time crafting what goes into your own Morphagene.

In the video, I play each reel through before I begin manipulating the various parameters (both manually, and with LFOs.) One note: none of these reels have Splice Markers. There is a lot you can still do without Splicing the reels, and I personally don't use the Splice feature all that often (just occasionally.)

Here is the timeline for each part:

REEL ONE - 0:08
REEL TWO - 2:19
REEL THREE - 5:53
REEL FOUR - 7:32
REEL FIVE - 9:51
REEL SIX - 12:26

Final note: there is a touch of Reverb from Mutable Instruments Clouds. #GenshiMorphageneReels"

New Moog Synth - Geert Bevin, Amos Gaynes - Designing and Implementing Embedded Synthesizer UIs

Geert Bevin, Amos Gaynes - Designing and Implementing Embedded Synthesizer UIs with JUC Published on Nov 22, 2017

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

A new product they can't go into is mentioned. Further below is a video by Geert Bevin featuring JUCE GUI on Linux running on a Raspberry Pi. Although Moog is known for their analog synths, they of course have already delved into digital synthesis via their acclaimed iOS apps and the Theremini. It will be interesting to see what they introduce at NAMM next year.

Geert Bevin, Senior Software Engineer, Moog Music
Amos Gaynes, Product Design Engineer, Moog Music

JUCE has become an ideal platform to develop embedded UI applications. Moog engineering discusses C++ JUCE front-end application design on top of streamlined Linux distributions. This talk focuses on practical solutions with code examples, including: maintainable user-interface and user-experience design, code and application architecture, unit and functional testing, efficient message handling and dispatch, domain-specific interfaces, APIs promoting consistency and correctness, patch storage and retrieval, and application-specific scripting.

Presented at ADC 2017, Code Node, London."


Raspberry PI 3 super small and fast custom Linux distribution for Audio and MIDI Published on Aug 11, 2017 Geert Bevin

"Been working on an embedded Raspberry PI 3 project with audio/MIDI.

It is available as open source from here:
https://github.com/gbevin/erpiam

First steps were getting the smallest possible Linux distribution working with full LCD, mouse, keyboard, audio and MIDI support ... and running one full-blown JUCE GUI application. It boots up in just a couple of seconds with a customizable boot screen, pretty neat I think!"

Synthchaser #086 - ARP Pro Soloist Repair - Dead Presets & Broken Wow Effect

Published on Nov 26, 2017 Synth Chaser

http://www.synthchaser.com

"Repairing another customer's ARP Pro Soloist. This one had very few patches working when it came in due to bad switches and a faulty VCA. Also engaging the Wow touch sensor effect would short circuit the keyboard and cause there to be no output at all.

ARP Pro Soloists and parts are available through my website. I also repair and restore ARPs and other vintage synths for customers around the world."

Noise Engineering Integra Solum & Manis Iteritas Tutorials

Published on Nov 26, 2017 Noise Engineering

"Quick tour of the functions of the new Integra Solum. IS is an 8HP dual rotating clock divider with 16 trigger outs in two sets of eight. Clock & reset the two sides independently or use a single input that normals to both sides. IS switches between three modes and an encoder adjusts the offset of each side. Bonus modes add randomization options.

Manis Iteritas tutorial

Published on Nov 26, 2017 Noise Engineering

"Quick tour of the new Manis Iteritas. MI is a 10HP voice based on the architecture of Basimilus Iteritas, but designed to be more gritty and aggressive. It accomplishes this by using only sawtooth waves that are manipulated, modulated, and distorted through a rethought interface. Manis is suitable for leads, bass lines, drums, darkness, detuned madness, or pure mayhem."
